A made bed gives us hope every day.

A few years ago, a video went viral about making your bed and it has stuck with me. I watch it every now and then because the message is so good. (Don’t worry, I’ve attached the video below, so you can watch it too!) If you want to change the world, start off by making […]

The Battery Organizer (My husband’s favorite online purchase I’ve Made.)

When the UPS truck comes down my street, there’s a 99% chance it will stop at my house. 🤦‍♀️ I know I’m not alone, we’ve all been shopping online a lot more in the last year! I must point out the thing that my husband Matt says is his FAVORITE thing I’ve purchased in the […]

Easy Nail Polish Organizing and Storage

I like my nails done and I have 3 teenage-ish daughters (youngest is 12.5, so pretty close). So, yeah. Nail polish organizing is something I have to figure out, though I do it a little differently every time we move and I settle/unpack.

Master Closet Remodel Progress

When we moved in last fall, the layout of the closet was terrible. The bars and shelves were not in sensible locations. We knew the closet was plenty big, the space was just used so terribly. We dealt with it for a few months, but it was causing a domino effect of issues. Because we […]

The Cleaning Supply Closet

I name places in our house to help my family find things when I say “in the cleaning closet.” You probably do it too, right? This is actually my first cleaning closet in any of my houses. Technically the cleaning closet has more than cleaning supplies, but that’s okay, the name still mostly fits. It […]

Simple 1st Aid Organizing

Last Tuesday I was at the orthodontist with one of my teens when I got a call from the elementary school nurse. My baby boy (kindergartner) had fallen and planted his forehead on the concrete. The vice-principal that happened to be near told me later that she could hear an audible thud. Ahhhh!!! I went […]

Grandma Bins (How I keep my favorite toys as my kids grow …)

I’m hopefully not very close to becoming a Grandma since my oldest girls are just 12, but I’ve been collecting items in a Grandma Bin since my twins were toddlers. When my 4th baby and son was born, I allowed myself a second bin. When people have a tough time getting rid of toys as […]

Let Containers Blend In

Sometimes I am asked how to choose the right container for something. And while I love a beautifully crafted box or basket as much as any container-loving person does, I often choose functional containers that blend in to their surroundings. Let Containers Blend In Containers that blend in do not cause a lot of distraction […]

Mini-Cleaning Buckets

With the two floods in my house last year, and the following months of renovation and construction going on at my house, I’m still getting to all the places in my house that need to be organized. One of the annoying places were the few cabinets in my laundry room, so I finally crossed this […]

Updated Small Bathroom & Map Wall Feature

Last week when I showed you the wine rack we used to hold towels in this bathroom, I realized the most recent pictures I had of this bathroom were from when we were putting on finishing touches. I thought I’d show you what it looks like now, and also share how I created the map […]
